Larry Eugene Primm, 80, of Novelty, Missouri, passed away Sunday evening, May 23, 2021, at his farm northwest of Novelty, Missouri.
Larry was born on September 25, 1940, in Canton, Illinois, the son of Leroy Theodore and Rosalea Taylor Primm.
He attended school at Antioch Rural School near Colony and graduated from the Baring High School in the Class of 1959, and continued his education with Northeast Missouri State Teachers College in Kirksville, Missouri.
On November 22, 1962, in Kirksville, Missouri, Larry married Berna “Beth” Frazee, and to this union one son was born.
He taught school in Knox County but most of all in Novelty, Missouri. When his father-in-law’s health failed, he joined the farming operation. In 1977 Beth retired and helped Larry farm, something he really enjoyed.
